Dropdown list data generator

[Brianfree]

hello, please can anyone assist with my request for college.

I am trying to write a program on php which does the following and then I can use on a html drop down

For the Alphabet letters.. A,B,C,D - I want to create a loop that creates the following
A-L-01
A-R-01
A-R-01
A-L-02
A-M-02
A-R-02
ETC..
Up to 32

then for the following letters, E, F - I just need to create
E-M-01
E-R-01
E-M-02
E-R-02
ETC...
Up to 20

Then for the following letters, G, H,I,J,K - I just need to create

G-L-01
G-R-01
G-R-01
H-L-02
H-M-02
H-R-02
ETC..

UP TO 20

all of this then to go into a single array which I can then call and use on a dropdown form list.

Please can anyone help? I can do it easier on an SQL table or fixing the values manually but need to do this generated via php loop.

thank you in advanced

Why would your teacher give this assignment without teaching how to do it?

Hello, it was to use nested statements but having problems trying to figure it out. this is what I have so far..

<?php
foreach(range('A','C') as $location) {
foreach(range('L','M') as $position) {
for ($y = 1; $y <= 32; $y++) {
echo $location ."-". $position ."-".$y;
echo "<br>";
}
}
}
?>
